Question

On April 1, Mr.Olson’s meter read 8,284 kw-hr. At $.08 per kw-hr, what was his electric bill for the month of April?

Answer 1

if $.08 per kW-hr, we can find the electric bill for the month using the rule of three.

$.08 per kW-hr =

$0.08 ------------ 1 kW-hr

x --------------------- 8,284 kW-hr

Where x = (8,284 kW-hr*$0.08)/1 kW- hr

Then:

x= $662.72

Hence, the electric bill for the month of April was $662.72.
